2005 Subaru Legacy 3.0L Petrol · HN05 AAJ

The Subaru Legacy passed its most recent MOT test on 2023-01-10 at 59,137 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been properly maintained and addressed any issues raised in the previous test. However, the fact that it failed its MOT just six days prior to this test highlights some underlying problems that were not addressed in time. The recorded mileage of 59,137 miles over approximately 21 years equates to a remarkably low annual mileage of 2,816 miles, which is lower than average for a vehicle of this age. This could suggest that the vehicle has been used lightly or has spent extended periods standing still, potentially leading to a more stable maintenance history. However, the lack of recent mileage data makes it difficult to determine the vehicle's usage pattern with certainty. Upon reviewing the MOT history, several recurring faults stand out, including contaminated brake pads and worn brake discs. The presence of tears in multiple tyres also raises concerns about the vehicle's overall condition. Furthermore, the inoperative engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) suggests a potential issue with the engine's emissions control system. In light of these findings, it is essential for the buyer to inspect the vehicle's brakes, suspension, and tyres in person, paying close attention to the condition of the brake pads, discs, and tyres.
